MODERATOR
Daniel Plagens
Writer, Humanitas Program Manager
In his role as Humanitas’s Program Manager, Daniel oversees the organization’s awards, fellowships, and direct aid projects while also managing day-to-day operational matters. He came to Humanitas after working for several years in the unscripted television and documentary worlds, and is a writer himself, being named to the University of Michigan Entertainment Coalition’s Blue List in 2020. He’s spoken about the screenwriting competition space to students enrolled at Boston University, Temple University, Florida State, Western Kentucky, Loyola Marymount, USC, and in UCLA’s Professional Programs. When he isn't thinking about movies and TV, he's writing The Book of Jobbed, his Substack newsletter about sports, culture, and the existential angst they cause.
